Abiotic and biotic influences on Bromus tectorum invasion and Artemisia tridentata recovery after fire (2011, background): “Successful establishment and relative cover of annual grass species can vary dramatically among years (Bradford and Lauenroth 2006; Keeley and McGinnis 2007), and low precipitation may have influenced both B. tectorum abundance and study results.”
Biocrusts enhance soil fertility and Bromus tectorum growth, and interact with warming to influence germination (2018, background): “Also, niche modeling indicates that B. tectorum abundance in cold regions could increase (West et al. 2015), while abundance in warm deserts could decline as climate change exacerbates the effects of warm, dry years on fitness (Bradford and Lauenroth 2006; Bradley et al. 2016).”
Bromus Response to Climate and Projected Changes with Climate Change (2016, methodology): “Increasing summer precipitation may result in less favorable conditions for establishment of Bromus and strong competition from native grass species that dominate under this precipitation regime (Bradford and Lauenroth 2006; Bradley et al. 2009).”
